True dual setup

Can anybody tell me all the correct stuff i need, already have longtubes with a hooker cat back but want to switch over to a true dual x-pipe setup. Can anybody tell me all the correct bends i need? Also what kinda of mufflers should I get i was thinking bullets but I don't want the exhaust to be to loud, yet i don't want a overly restrictive exhaust. Also what kind of x-pipe? Thanks guys

If you don't want too loud, then don't get Bullets. I have Bullets with shorties, and they are insane. I love it, but they are insane. With LT's, it'll be even louder. I had an exhaust shop make me an x pipe. Looks just as good as anything you'd buy like Dr. Gas or whatever. If you can find a GOOD exhaust shop that can make them and you know that they can do a good job, then just get them to do it. As for mufflers, you are kinda limited on choices. Bullets are ideal cause of their size, but I already mentioned the Loudness that you will have. Couple of people have Borla mufflers(I forget the exact name, but they are pretty compact). Personally, I can't stand Borla, but it's up to you. And I believe you can also do Spintech mufflers if you choose. I may possibly swap out my Bullets for Spintechs eventually, but it will be a long time probably. Anyways, all that was needed for my exhaust setup was X pipe, piping, Bullets and exhaust hangars.

Thanks for the help, I was wondering about the x-pipes. It seems kind of a rip of for what they charge for em, maybe there's something i'm messing but to me it just looks like to bends with there centers cut and welded together. Somebody was telling me that you can actually get a regular single in out under the car without clearance problems, he said there's a recession under there where a muffler can fit. There has to be a couple more guys out there that have done this.
